Can't wait to investigate!

On a jet ski one day and saw this object embedded in river bank after a huge tree fell exposing it. This is at a productive Middle Woodland village site and it certainly appears man made. I can't get good access to it until the winter draw down lowers the water level about 5 feet.

If you think it is what you think it is.. shoulda snagged it while you had the chance

You missed the opportunity
Drop the camera Wtf

Being you were close enough to take a photo and having the benefit of clear, unobstructed in person viewing from multiple angles, you were probably seeing the object twice as well as we are and rather then us all just making guesses, you had to have a much better idea to what it was. What are your thoughts? Top of a jug perhaps?

Looks like a plastic water bottle..It doesn?t take long for a tree to grow large., like Mike said shoulda grabbed it

Here along the Sabine drainage we find broken up pottery under fallen tree's often.I always assumed that if a tree grew on top of a pot, the roots went everywhere,growing inside the opening of the Jug/pot and when the tree fell, the roots obliterated the jug/pot into pieces.

What ever it is, it was washed up under roots imo.

Exactly my experience. I'm still confused as to why he didn't just ease up there on the jet ski and pluck it out right after he took the insitu.

If it’s on TVA property, it’s illegal to remove artifacts.

Good eye, It looks like a tiki torch lamp cover sort of object.

i seem to remember an article or two from a while back of the tva police being pretty active down in the Chickamauga/ hiawasse area (maybe it was a different reservoir) taking peoples boats and trucks.

I'm gonna guess something modern.

Guess it's not that important since the post was on September 1st and still no update on recovery.

the fact said image was captured on july 16th supports your theory.

edit: to me it looks like a large pvc pipe size reducer coupling.

Still no retrieval tells me this is FAKE NEWS.

If so,why do people do this?

Be careful, we have rules on this.....

the original picture he posted was from july 16th according to the metadata scrubber. so there's a two month spread without returning. Supposedly he was on a jet ski and hunts artifacts, doesn't really make sense not riding up to ??

since the area he is posting from and his other posts seem to indicate it is located on tva waters illegal to remove artifacts from. whatever it was, might not get an update.
